I'm trying to
I've been on Lemmy and off Reddit since RIF died. Hope it grows, but so far it doesn't replace the reason I used reddit. The frontpage/hot posts are similar and even better than Reddit. But I never cared about those on Reddit anyway, they were mostly junk content that I didn't care about. Reddit was great because you could find a highly active niche community for ANYTHING. Find a new show you like? There's a subreddit with deep discussions of every episode, and fan theories about hidden details. Are you a scientist with a specific field who wants to stay up to date on new research in your field? Well the subreddit for your field is filled with other scientists discussing newly published research.
If course I don't expect Lemmy to be able to do that immediately. That requires a huge userbase and years of time building these small communities. Hope Lemmy can do it, pissed that Reddit already did it and now is trying to ruin it
Yes. I am just waiting/looking for some apps that made Reddit actually usable to support ~~Lemmy~~ Lenny. Right now the user experience is a bit lacking, with the apps I tested so far having no support for gifs and constant confusion of not being on the right instance.

I've replaced all discussion on Reddit with Lemmy. I still browse Reddit due to it still having some communities with content I still have to access such as Jumpchain and modding Elder Scrolls.
I've moved all my normal hobby discussions over here and am only using Reddit as part of my job. (85% of Tech Support is finding someone who had the same one-off issue 8 years ago, and usually the answer is in a Reddit thread)
A mix between hacker news and Lemmy
Considering how quickly the third party system is coming up for Lemmy, I envision my reddit engagement to drop to zero soon enough. For now, Lemmy just doesn't have all the info that Reddit has and that is fine considering Reddit has been there for a long while
Yes. I'm looking forward to better search functionality on instances though. It's kind of hard to search if something's been asked or posted already on mobile (using Liftoff, but I've also tried Jerboa and Connect)
So far am trying too. I usully get most of my news from reddit during normal use. Would normally browse by Hot on R/all and first few posts were typically "important" news articles. Don't really see the same amount of posts here. Maybe will pick up during election season or will have to break down and find a more dedicated news server.
I want to! But there is a lot missing that I miss about reddit that isn't active here like squared circle and anime. I think it will take a while for most of that to build up here but it is solely missed but I don't want to use reddit anymore due to their terrible practices.
Lemmy at home, reddit at work. Lemmy has WAY too much porn on the main page for work...
